Philosophy and Theurgy in Late Antiquity - Hardcover

by Algis U'Zdavinys (Author), John F. Finamore (Foreword by)

This book clearly establishes that traditional myth is the symbolic expression of metaphysics, as metaphysics is the exegesis of myth; and that Greek philosophy was not an isolated 'miracle' but a reinterpretation of perennial themes common to the ancient Near Eastern, Mesopotamian, Indian, and especially Egyptian religions.
